Ok, I'm home. As a heads up I've got maybe an hour and a half of solid gold posting before I head out to dinner and a play with the gf. Let's get to scumhunting.

Your one saving grace might be that you can't be getting advice from a scum doc and yet continue to post this badly.

That's the sort of thinking we need.

Another point:

Asphyxious may have just randomized the draw, but I doubt he would put two clueless noobs on the same team. If they both wound up on scum that would make for a lovely game. There are 2 clueless noobs, both by our own admission: Me and Gwyn.

I've had a number of known scummers call for my head, or at least actively cast aspersions in my direction, earlier in the game. Odds are I'm the town noob. Which means Gwyn is scum.

See, knowing what I know. I'm increasingly convinced you must be town too. Also. We weren't the only noobs. Cumburg was too. I think.

Ok Milks / TOML. You two are the only ones I trust 100% not to be scum.

Now, a post for the newbies.

There's a few things that you might not have picked up on. I'm going to assume that you aren't both scum, and so putting this info out in the open helps town - because scum can fill the newbie in on this in the scum doc.

1). There's probably 2 or 3 more scum left. Other option is two and a serial killer.
2). There's a lot of roles in this game. I've counted one vanilla town, one vanilla scum. It makes it harder for everyone, but particularly the newbies.
3). We still have a doctor out there. If it's one of the newbies, you need to keep your head down and keep TOML alive, since he's the one town we can all trust.

Anyone got anything else to add?

Actually it was based on flavour text. Grimlock was meant to be with prime and prime still got killed.

Also, given that all my theories have been pure speculation, why would you think this any different.

I'm literally just the worst mafia player ever. Remember Mills reaction to me. Do you really think anyone could enter a game with an act as convincing as mine supposedly would be?

Before that I'll add a few thoughts on dj-bbq.

All of us except for beet have voted for him at one stage.

D2: Splode, Gwynplaine, (FS), black_tangled, Tirade, (WFD).
D3: Tirade, (SK), Milky, Splode.
D4: TOML, MM, HM.

I'll be perfectly honest and say I'm not sure if that makes him more or less likely to be scum.

He's claimed roleblocker. Could well be true but even if it is it doesn't make him town. He's said he didn't use his night action on n1 and used it on toml night two, and will say who he blocked on night 3 if toml asks.

I'm kind of tempted to go for him anyway since at this stage it's highly unlikely he's our doc.

Gwynplaine: Jan 24, 2015; "Let me get this straight..."

This is some flavour text stuff but for what its worth:

So far we have been dealing with combaticons. They are a team of five. With this in mind, we have another 3 scum to worry about.

Warpaths comment of his opponent being a 'big fella', makes me wonder if there is a mafia mechanic where scum can work together. A sort of bruitcus if you will.

If that isn't a thing (still studying the wiki) then it might just be flavour text for when two scum attacked at once.

My overarching point is that we have 3 scum to deal with. Basically a guarantee.

Swindle might be a godfather, Brawl a strongman onslaught...dunno.

I'm going to have to go to work soon, and will be unable to post much, but I still, even now think BBQ might be up to something. Not sure about KD, Beet or BT either.

Apart from TOML, I'm not sure on anyone but I think it is unlikely for Tirade to be scum.

I'm not sure if Gwyn is a scum patsie or just a bad player. That whole 'Well, you have to be x or y role' from them has really made me more dubious.

I understand this, but I'd say Asphyxious went for a fairly random distribution. I don't think it works to help us make a decision, however.

hiddenmovement posted:

No I think most of us understand what you were trying to do, I was merely stating that because you were trying to do it and it really would have been an overwhelming good for the town, you must be town.

I wasn't referring to you. I find this urge to defend yourself suspicious.

These are the posts I'm really curious about :

black_tangled posted:

Yeah ok, that actually makes sense. I think I read it wrong initially.

One reading of it could be that Milky was protecting BBQ. Given his then pursuit of BBQ that seems less likely but, not unheard of and if the writing is somewhat on the wall for BBQ, could be solid ground-laying for later.

black_tangled posted:

Perhaps setting himself up for this type of situation? Always good to have a history of backing up a town player as scum.

And, especially, this:

black_tangled posted:

I've been thinking he was town because of the earlier claim about trying to night action Tirade which Tirade backed up. But what do we really know? As for being helpful, he's been pretty cryptic a lot of the time. It *could* be a strategy for cloaking his true views from scum, or it could just be "pretending to be helpful".

He says he has a rare and powerful role for town.

Then there is this:

Followed by:

Really Milky? Smart player like you wants to bet that these guys are the scum masterminds? Is this helpful town play or are you going solo, mission-ing some secret strategy? No one has made a good case on bbq despite his name coming up over and over, and it seems super safe scum play to just keep bringing that up.

We are just going around and around, picking silent players, backing down at the last minute, destroying ourselves, while scum runs pretty rampant. If TOML hadn't been revived, town would have been quite screwed.

So we can't make too many assumptions and continue working off lazy logic. All players (except toml) should be open for inspection.

Tirade- what's your deal? Your posting history looks like SKs.
Milky - anything you'd like to share?

From what I can see you are both avoiding suspicion because you are backing each other up. Is it just me or is that kinda crazy?

I've never said my role is rare and powerful. I've never said I'd bet that they are scum masterminds, just that they might be scum.

No one has made a good case on BBQ? Why is that? Is it because he only has thirty posts in this thread which I think is the lowest of any surviving player? I can't remember him actually contributing anything either.

You really tried hard to get something rolling on me here, b_t. Why is that?

Am I protecting BBQ (as per your first post) or am I doing 'super safe scum play'?

hiddenmovement: Sep 29, 2011; "Most mornings I'll apologise in advance to my wife."

The reason we are seeing the particular transformers we are seeing is because they are the ones that feature in high moons G1 based transformers games. Bruticus and the combaticons feature in the second one. It probably doesnt have much to do with transformers lore and more to do with which characters were available for use.

Having said that, the big fella is probably just Onslaught. Asphyxious may have left Swindle off the table entirely because he obviously has a soft spot for him.
